Practicing while seated - Bobby O teaches a good lesson

[kennydoe]

I was looking at the jemFest pics and saw that Bob Oakman does something that I recently started doing (although I was told about it years ago).

here's the pic: http://jemfest.com/jemfest_2001/page...s/IMG_0088.htm

While seated, he holds the guitar on his LEFT knee, rather than his right. *This puts the guitar more in the position on his body where the guitar would be if he were standing up and playing, thus making hand positions more similar. *

Since I started doing this myself, i find my back hurts a lot less after practicing and that when I get to the gig, I'm more likely to play the solo i just learned at home correctly.

Anyone have aynthing to add to this? *Agree? Disagree?
